Pizzerias
It is the number one for many people, it can be reached from Via Roma going towards Capodimonte. Entering the Materdei district, follow the signs for Starita. Absolutely go there and eat the angels as an appetizer and a nice pizza. Better to go there during the week and very early to not wait too long (around 8:00 pm is fine). Generations of pizza makers who know their trade will welcome you in the restaurant that in 1954 was the location of the film The Gold of Naples with Sophia Loren in the role of pizza maker. While waiting, free angels for everyone.

The former Di Matteo pizza maker opened it and named it in honor of former US president Clinton who ordered a pizza from Di Matteo at the G8 in Naples. It is not a historic pizzeria but it is undoubtedly one of the best pizzerias in Naples, those with the queue (which is quickly disposed of) outside the door and a crowd of Neapolitans waiting to eat a nice pizza. Try the Provola and melanzane pizza, with mushroom aubergines (cut into small pieces), provola and cherry tomatoes.

Sorbillo is the most famous pizzeria in Naples, opened by one of Sorbillo's 21 children from a family of pizza masters since 1934. It is located in the Tribunali area, on the corner between Via dei Tribunali and Via Nilo. Here are the best pizzerias in Naples but among them Sorbillo shines for the quality of the raw materials and the wisdom of the pizza makers.
Tradition is tradition from Michele and then the pizza is that of the origins, the same one that the Queen Margherita tasted and then put your soul in peace, because the tastes of pizza are two, margherita and marinara, both exceptional. The pizzeria is between Corso Garibaldi and the beginning of the Forcella district. Wooden tables to share and Spartan furniture respecting tradition. It must be said however that it is frequented mainly by tourists and that the service is fast, so fast that as soon as the pizza is finished it is good to get up and leave the place for the next hungry. However, prices remain low and super honest.
Another historic pizzeria in Naples that produces elastic and soft pizza since 1936 is the Pizzeria Di Matteo. It is famous for its goodness but also and above all for its kindness and promptness of service. In addition to pizza, you will eat the typical "cuoppo", a mix of fried foods, fried pizzas, croquettes and pasta fritters.
Among the jargon of pizza makers and Neapolitan cabal, the name of this place could be translated as "good dough": here you will find a modern formula with solid roots in tradition, also because the patron, Ciro Salvo, is a son of art.
You can choose between traditional or personalized pizzas with seasonal products; there is also a small selection of wines.
